Trivia:
Like many other Belmondo vehicles, this movie was purchased by the Soviet movie ministry in 1982. However, it was not released until 1990, presumably due to the fact that the movie was critical of Third World regimes. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When the clochards reach the car with the policemen inside, one of the chlochards destroys a bottle on the roof of the car, so the roof gets wet and there are lots of glass splinters on it. In various shots after, the roof is completely clean again. moreSoundtrack:

This is a movie I can't help seeing again and again. The classic scenes are so many I don't have enough space to write them. Best of all, the very last scene (Joss exiting the castle). The movie is brilliantly complimented by Ennio Morricone's Chi Mai, a song you must have in your CD drawer. Don't you miss it!
